“We don’t know if there are local victims someone who may have been dating him or a companion that doesn’t realize they are being videotaped, and then we have the other side of who he rented to through Airbnb,” he added.

Police arrested Wayne Natt, 56, who reportedly owns the home. He was charged with one count of video voyeurism. Bourque indicated that Natt’s account on Airbnb has been active on the platform for two years and had more than 40 reviews.

Bourque said Natt, with his lawyer present, gave police a statement claiming that everyone who stayed in the room consented to being filmed. He also admitted that the house had been used for sex parties.

“He says that everyone videoed had knowledge he was videoing them,” Bourque said. “What we said to that was… ‘if people are consenting to recording sexual activity why is it hidden in a smoke alarm?’ He said it was for recording sexual activity.”

Bourque claimed Natt said he hid the camera in the ceiling because “it gave him a better angle.”

Ben Breit, a representative from Airbnb, sent WFTS a statement condemning the vile act.

“We are outraged at the reports of what happened; as soon as we were made aware, we permanently banned this individual from our community and fully supported the affected guests,” the statement read.

It added: “Our team has reached out to local law enforcement to aid them with their investigation of this egregious offense and we hope justice is served. We take privacy issues extremely seriously and have a zero-tolerance policy against this behavior.”

Starnes said the listing never mentioned any cameras being inside the room, adding that he knows the video camera caught him naked in the master bedroom — and he doesn’t know where that footage is now.

“My wife and I are distressed by this situation. I hope more victims will come forward,” Starnes said.

Starnes said he took a picture of both himself and his wife in the room with the camera to encourage other people to come forward if they have ever stayed in that home.

This disturbing situation serves as a scary reminder about why it’s important to always look for suspicious or out-of-place things that may be in a room you’re staying in.

Invading someone’s privacy in this manner is sick and should never be tolerated. Everyone needs to be made aware of this.
